Organizing and administering to people and projects will become central to your lifestyle. Career choices and the obvious path that is opening up for you now may grate against your own sense of freedom; there is something to be learned here and listening to that small voice inside your head may be the best path to walk. Some middle road could be found if you search a little more. You make a lot of money for other people through your advice and through your accounting abilities. You could take some of your own advice and turn some of that paperwork into good hard cash. Enjoy a romantic dinner.

There could be a few challenges today as circumstances may block you or bring you to a standstill. It may be easy to work at cross-purposes to your own interests.
